Interview - Priya Murle: Perspective in performance - Nanditha Ashok

In both performance as well as conversation, Bharatanatyam
dancer Priya Murle depicts dance as an art beyond the body
and uses her talents to establish a connection with her
audience; exactly what the Natya Shastra calls for in the
act of creating pure rasa. As she gears up for the
upcoming season, Priya Murle talks about her perspective
on abhinaya and approach to choreography. What are some projects you are currently involved in?
Currently, in addition to my solo choreography, I am
working on a few projects for the season. First is
Prof. Sudharani Raghupathy’s new production called
‘Tripaada’ where I am playing Mahabali in the retelling of
Vamana Avataram story. Also, I am working with my
group Parasaha which includes Roja Kannan, N. Srikanth and
Aswathy Srikanth. We are doing a large-scale
production on motherhood, in addition to other small
programs.
